The Big Light

CWell I had a little feeling to have a big night
And Gwoke up feeling small and not so brave and not quite right
I had to Cface the who am I and where is she what did I do
But worst of Fall I had to Gface the big Clight
Chorus
CThe big light came through my window and it Fopened up my eyelids
And it Gsnapped them up like roller blinds and Ctold me things that I did
I can't Cface another day and night of Fgood ideas and complications
And I'm Gthankful I didn't open another bottle of inspiration
Nifty James Burton lick at end of chorus

When the hangover this morning had a personality
And I cast my shattered mind over selected memories
I didn't even touch the light switch so I knew I'd never see
The Haggard face that would be staring back at me
Chorus
Well I had a little feeling to have a big time
And I woke to alarm bells like a big church chime
I had to face the who am I and who is she what did I do
But worst of all I had to face the big light
Chorus
Well it's Cfine to go out and Fhave a big night
But sooner or Glater you've got to face the big Clight
